Toronto councillors approve motion urging city to take control of Ontario Science Centre

Toronto councillors have approved a motion urging the city to take over operation of the Ontario Science Centre from the provincial government and find ways to keep it running in its original home.The motion passed Thursday night almost a week after the province abruptly announced the permanent closure of the 55-year-old facility, which has been set to be replaced in several years by a new science centre planned as part of the controversial redevelopment of Ontario Place.
